Exactly!!!! And there is NO way to justify him lying us into a senseless war that has cost mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters over 4,200 lives.
The lives Cheney has taken in Iraq is MORE than we lost at the WTC. He should deal with THAT!
What a freakin self-righteous hypocrite. Every time he opens his mouth one of these commentators need to get some balls and ask him how he feels about being the nation's greatest mass murderer. Forget the waterboarding. Try him for out-right murder x's 4,200. That should equal the death penalty several times over.
I'm really beginning to not like this man....and his family lying for him. Guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. If America ever looks at ANYBODY named Cheney or Bush again for a high office....we get what we deserve. We knew better.

Dick Cheney and his supporters which happened all to be angry belligerent white christian zealots seem to me to be the ultimate authoritarian abusive parent. They read their daughters diaries to make sure they arent talking to "that" kid or they go through their wives purses to see how much theyve spent, or go to their sons teachers to make sure they are taking the classes they approve of all for the sake of keeping their family safe from the darkness that is imminent. They eat sleep and breath fear dispair and darkness, and the only thing they do is make you as fearful as them because they cant control their own fear and cowardice.

"I think it grows out of a deep sense of hurt and betrayal."
That makes me wonder. Is that anything like the deep sense of hurt and betrayal felt by the American people toward the Bush administration and Dick Cheney?

How does a man who LIED not just our nation into war, but others expect to have ANY credibility? Any WHY is anyone Still listening to him? He's a proven blatant liar.
His rational that they did not break the law is mind blowing. It was AGAINST the law BEFORE they had to have another lawyer re-write the law. This man has NO soul. And he's an arrogant idiot.
For someone who never saw combat and deferred enlistment five times, he must be suffering from PTSD from 9/11. It seems to have become an obsession that directs his every waking thought. He would have Never made it in a combat zone. The man is UNstable.

Since when did victimizers appropriate the discourse of victims and begin crying over being victimized?

Oh, but Joe, he is so annoying. For eight years, he slithered around in the shadows, and now he's everywhere! (He was, no doubt the power behind the throne for eight years.) I think he has a lot of nerve critizing Obama considering the path to disaster that the Bush-Cheney administration led us down. He is creepy and I think, evil.

In most cases I find it hard to call bad people - evil. But Cheney is really the definition of pure evil.

Martha, I, too, am reluctant to call someone evil. I always try to find something good about everyone, but I have found nothing good about him. I think he has done great harm to this country I love so much.

If Cheney is out, lets open up the Halliburton issue. He will have to step out of the Fox studio sometime.

When I think of evil people, Dick Cheney tops my list. I am reading "The Dark Side" by Jane Mayer and it absolutely shows him for what he is.

I know altogether too many cheney-types. Angry, yes, but there's another element to it, they've been jealous since grade school (I'm in that age group) and they've been stupid, pushy bullies all along.
I think we were all playing musical chairs in kindergarten (that was in 1946!) and some girl pushed them out of the way so she could win the round. My favorite cheney-type memory of school was the Cartman-kid who couldn't pass a Spanish test! That was fifty years ago and he's still angry about that!
From another point of view, given those kinds of back story issues, it is valid to say that the cheney-types are highly motivated to excell and dominate, perhaps to take revenge and call it justice.
Cartmans! That's all they are . . . Cartmans from South Park.

Jesse Ventura doesn't mince words:
Also in the interview, Ventura railed against the military interrogation tactics under the Bush-Cheney administration, calling waterboarding torture.
"I'll put it to you this way: You give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I'll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders."
Ventura also challenged Cheney for avoiding service during the Vietnam War with college deferments. "Clearly, he's a coward. He wouldn't go when it was his time to go."
Cheney was in charge of Foreign policy and Bush had Domestic policy duty. Cheney fucked up royally and Bush got all the blame. (Yes, of course, Bush was president, he is to blame.)
But Cheney is the one out there trying to prop up the Bush Administration legacy because they're afraid Bush would tell the truth.

Go DICKY GO! You are doing more single handedly to fuck over the GOP forever. I LOVE this. Keep him on the air 24/7. Put him out there daily. He is one of our best allies!
All this Jebby-Crist- feel good crap about a warm and fuzzy GOP is bullshit.
PLEASE keep Cheney out there...and of course...

What I fear most is Cheney on every show he can be on being seen and heard talking about how Obama is making us less safe. He may know something we don't. And if something happens, he can say "I told you so." People will begin to question Obama and fall right back into Cheney's arms again begging him to protect them.
That maybe only a conspiracy theory but can anyone else give me a better reason for him to be so vocal these days?

This may be what Cheney believes in his own perverted mind, but I think if he was going to get his message across to the American people, we would have seen the effects by now. But no one is questioning Obama's leadership ability and no one praising this loser Dickhead's performance for the past eight years (except Fox News and talk radio). No one misses him! People know he's a sham and have caught on to the fact that he's been nothing more than a fear-mongerer who has openly expressed his hatred for the American people. Well the American people have resoundingly rejected him and will continue to so, terrorist attack or not. If we do have another attack (God forbid), I'd bet he'd just become background noise (as so would the "news" outlets who would put him on the air to say "I told you so").

Talking fear is what he does. He has been doing it for eight years. I, for one, am tired of being told to live in fear, and I refuse to do it. Of course, they will try to hit us again! They would do it regardless of who is president. America will always have some folks that wish us ill. If they hit us, they hit us. I have to die of something.
Meanwhile, I believe that Obama is doing the best he can to prevent it. He is such a contrast to the Bush Administration, and I am so happy he is the President.

If Cheney is the upright All American wantustobesafenomatterwhat person he is portraying himself to be, he would not wait for that 'phone call' or what the Hell Ever and simply walk into the White House and request a head to head with the President of the United States. All this Fox obligatory facetime on the airwaves is doing him no good, the Republican party no good, and it is making Gee Dub look even more like a cretin that was just occupying the office instead of running it.

If Cheney gets in to see Obama face to face, I hope they strip search him including a cavity search, pull his nails and muzzle his face. Probably also should manacle and shackle him. Otherwise, I would never trust him not to attempt to harm Obama. Hmmm! Maybe face mask over the muzzle to keep him from spitting on Obama too.
And, OTOH, deeply, deeply resent that a vile sick animal like Cheney has access to Obama whereas his door is closed to me. All the rich, powerful, elite, and even foreign powers and enemy nations have an open door to our officials but the common Americans have the door locked shut and we are arrested and prosecuted if we dare to try.

No matter how wrong Cheney may be, he absolutely is justified in going on talk shows and defending his administration, since the Obama administration has been very public in blaming the Bush WH for the economy, torture, Iraq war, etc.
We may disagree with and hate Cheney, but Obama started the fight.
LuZenMyMnd

Started the fight???? Are you serious? This nation was teetering on an abyss. The president stated the obvious. He didn't blame, he stated fact. Who was at the helm? Cheney. Who made the decisions? Cheney admitted he did.
Now you want Obama to lie for the man too? He and his family are doing enough of that. Even the rushpublican'ts are uncharacteristically mute. Most of them are on deaf mouth when it comes to Defending Cheney.

Dick was always angry. How would you like to grow up as the son of the county ag extension agent?
He's also doing what's left of the Republican Party a huge disservice.
Just when they need new faces we get Newt, Rush, and Dick.

Can someone, ANYONE tell me why that smug piece of shit gets a free pass on 911?
I mean, ENOUGH bull here, Clinton was clear about terrorist threats, the Bush administration screwed the pooch and us.
They don't get a "for 7 years we kept you safe" without the "we let terrorists kill our citizens". He might also want to take credit for not having had tiger or elephant attacks in those 7 years also.
Terrorists could have hit us ANY goddamned time. Always CAN in any free democracy (and strangely, even can in a closed police state, just is a little tougher and more innocents suffer in the police state).

I'm a little confused on that one myself. Under Clinton the WTC was attacked. Car bomb was supposed to take out one building, and it was supposed to take out the other. Under Bush, the buildings were destroyed, by planes. Now Bush is bragging that they can't be attacked a third time. I'm confused as heck. How can they attack them a third time? They are utterly gone. If that is his idea of success, I don't want to know what his idea of failure is.
